SO pleased!!!
I have been looking for a second hand playhouse and managed to find one for sale not far from me. Looked at it at the weekend and put an offer in of £20 (!) as it looked like it needed quite a bit of work as we found bits of rot on the roof. Well, he accepted £25 but when we went and dismantled it last night it really did look in good nick so I was an honest gal (or just a stupid one) and paid £35. It was for sale for £40. Still think I got a good bargain though!
But what a saga! The trailer we were going to use was stuck at the very back of the garage, my car which died last year on a trip to woburn (another story there) had been sitting on my drive for a whole year and the tyres were flat (due to trying to stop gypsies nicking it :evil: ) and was in the way. My o/h had to remove 2 tyres at a time take them to the garage and get them pumped up.
We then went to dismantle the wendy house. (for a rest)
Then we had to move my car out of the way of the garage. UP the drive. Where my o/h got his strength from I have no idea he was like he-man. :lol:
We then had to clear out half the garage to get the trailer out.
3 journeys (slow ones) later we got it home.
Phew!
We then had to put the trailer back, put half the garage back and push the car back down the drive.
We then spent a tenner (which I could have saved) on a chinese because we were shattered!
So there you go!
